I found a bad EGR valve by watching the valves driven and measured values on my Scangauge2. The measured value should follow the driven value very close.

Looks like you could have a bad valve.

Did you clean as much of the carbon out as you could? A shop vac works well for it. Next I would check the wiring pigtail for chafing and clean the connector. When reconnecting, use some dielectric grease.
